He spat out each word through gritted teeth: "Chu Zhuo, you insist on going against me. Have you thought about the consequences?"
"I have won several battles on the battlefield. Each battle lasted more than three months. I have seen countless heads fall and rivers of blood flow. What am I afraid of? I will try to reason with them first, and if there is no way to reason with them, then we will settle things with our weapons."
"You said you were going to report to General Guan because you are his son-in-law? No problem, I will report to General Guan about your intention to kill your daughter and your former wife, and see if he will become wary of you."
"General Guan must know how you managed to marry his daughter. I'm afraid he's not as kind to you as he seems on the surface."
Seeing Chu Zhuo reveal his private matters, Song Laosan finally felt a little nervous.
Indeed, he did use some underhanded means to marry General Guan's daughter, a fact that was an open secret in the army. Therefore, he was very cautious in front of General Guan.
"Now that we've got Commandant Song, let's call it a day. There are still so many villages to collect taxes from. If we keep wasting time here, it won't be easy to explain to our superiors."
Song Laosan was full of resentment, but when he looked up, he saw that Chu Zhuo's men had already arrived, lined up in a long queue on that forest path, ready for battle.
He looked at the Qiao family, his face dark and gloomy.
"You're lucky today, but watch out for the future."
"Don't worry, they survived today even with a knife to their throats. We won't be afraid of any danger in the future." Old Qiao shrugged.
Old Song narrowed his eyes, exhaled angrily, and waved his hand before leaving with his men.
He won't let the Qiao family off so easily.
"Xiao Shi, take those seven back and register them in the military register."
Chu Zhuo said, “You are all brave and rare. Among those who have officially joined the army, the three of them are a bit older. I will give each of them a hundred soldiers.”
His palm gestured to Da Yong, Da Cheng, and Da Meng one by one.
"When you make contributions in the future, we will increase your manpower."
Actually, it's a bit too fast to give them the job now, but he knows that Song Laosan will continue to make things difficult for the Qiao family, so it's better to give them some manpower as a guarantee.
Although General Guan was the highest-ranking officer in the garrison, he still had the authority to appoint personnel.
Song Laosan paused, then took a deep breath.
Chu Zhuo, well done! You're determined to go against him. Just you wait and see.
The three of them looked at each other, very excited and happy.
He almost met his end, and now he's just a lowly soldier.
The ups and downs of life are truly thrilling.
Qiao Lian'er smiled and reviewed the situation carefully.
She was right to speak up, because Chu Zhuoren was there.
If she remains silent, then Chu Zhuo might not be able to help her when Song Laosan makes things difficult for her later.
Song Laosan will definitely make things difficult for the Qiao family. He has the same idea as the Song family: to steal the Qiao family's money and seize their new courtyard.
By a twist of fate, things gradually escalated to this point, which ironically brought a huge advantage to the Qiao family.
Just do the right thing, and everything will be handled by fate.
Song Laosan wouldn't let it go so easily. He led his men and headed aggressively towards the Qiao family.
Having seized the initiative and taken away all the Qiao family's silver and grain, it was merely a matter of collecting the taxes according to procedure. What could Chu Zhuo do?
